PREFACE. 

The formality of a preface may seem scarcely necessary for 
the supplementing of a system as simple and comprehensible as 
the one herewith presented. 

We have but to divide any surface we may wish to letter 
into squares (or parallelograms as the case may be), in pencil 
lines ; form the required letters, in ink or paint, and accord- 
ing to the style chosen ; erase the pencil lines, and the lettering 
is complete. J. H. C
